There are 4 climbs established. a dirty 5.8 called 'welcome to the jungle' leads to a belay station (2 bolts). From here you can continue straight up and left to climb "Sparkehorse" (5.10a), or move right to bottom of pillar/arete on right side of cliff. This climb is called "Son Volt"(5.10d) and has 11 bolts. There is another climb on the left side of cliff put up by ryan campbell a few years ago. it's 5.8. The roof/ hand crack in the middle of the face (above the huge/ loose crack that hovers over the lower section of the face)has been toproped and is 5.10. you have to rappel from the top of the cliff to get the the ledge below the roof. the roof needs a bolt or 2 but the crack goes free with gear. It is called "Kiliak Crack". 60 meter ropes and helmets essential here.<BR/><BR/>-evan phillipsevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300508200714659669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-658713316528160433.post-29636871515780023692008-08-03T19:27:00.000-08:002008-08-03T19:27:00.000-08:00the photo you posted that requires "additional inv...the photo you posted that requires "additional investigation" is called "The Kiliak Wall". On the right side of the cliff, there is a gnarly gash/chimney with a beautiful pillar arete to the right. At the base of the arete is a 2 bolt anchor. This climb is called "Son Volt" and is 5.10d (11 bolts). To the left of the gash is a stellar face/crack climb called "Sparklehorse" (5.10a) 6 bolts and gear to 2". A short dirty climb called "Welcome to the Jungle" (5.8) 4 bolts, leads to the anchor to the previously mentioned climbs. Ryan Campbell put up a bolted 5.8 somewhere on the left side of the cliff but i haven't done it. Carl Oswald and I rapped from the top of the cliff in the center where there is a crack that comes out of a roof in the middle of the face. We put in 2 bolts for an anchor on the ledge below this roof and crack which we called "Kiliak Crack". We toproped it. it needs a bolt or 2 thru the roof (5.10a) but the crack goes free with gear (5.8). I put up the other routes as well. wear a helmet and use 60 meter ropes.<BR/><BR/>- evan phillipsevanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05300508200714659669noreply@blogger.com
